A galette is really an open faced pie or a take on a crumble with a bottom crust. And no matter what you put on it, it’s simple and delicious.

Curries are my go-tos in the Winter, I don’t know why but it’s all I crave. When ordering Thai or Indian dishes, I marvel at the flavors and always wanted to figure out how to recreate that intensity.

What’s the key to the perfect smoothie? Other than the flavors you love, the balance of frozen and fresh is important to get the right consistency.

Is potato salad the most basic American dish? Yes, of course. But is basic always bad? Nope. In fact, the nostalgia behind a dish alone can elevate it immensely. Mix that with great flavor and it goes from basic to unique in seconds.

Everything’s better in a tortilla! Scramble up some eggs with your fave veggies, sprinkle with cheese, throw in a tortilla with some homemade guac and salsa. You’ve got yourself a killer breakfast or lunch.

Have you ever gotten a container of “fresh” salsa from your favorite grocery store and been blown away? It’s better than the jarred stuff, right? Well, take it one step further and not only will you be impressed, but it’s something to brag about when your friends come over.

Chia seeds have a huge amount of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, lots of protein (and great quality protein at that), and several essential minerals and antioxidants - all in these TINY TINY seeds.
